/** <module> Goal expansion rules to avoid meta-calling

This module defines goal_expansion/2 rules to   deal with commonly used,
but fundamentally slow meta-predicates. Notable   maplist/2... defines a
useful set of predicates, but its  execution is considerable slower than
a traditional Prolog loop. Using this  library calls to maplist/2... are
translated into an call  to  a   generated  auxilary  predicate  that is
compiled using compile_aux_clauses/1. Currently this module supports:

	* maplist/2..
	* forall/2
	* once/1
	* ignore/1
	* phrase/2
	* phrase/3

The idea for this library originates from ECLiPSe and came to SWI-Prolog
through YAP.

@tbd	Support more predicates
